Subject: DD Councils Self Advocacy Boards
Hello!
We recently had an interesting question posed to us regarding individuals who are not their own guardian serving as board members or in seats in which they
have legal requirements. For example, our self-advocacy organization is a 501(c)3 board and 100% of the board members are individuals with DD, many of whom are not their own guardians. Has anyone tossed around the legal implications of this and found ways
to overcome the barriers?
Thanks!
Nancy
